In the 1990s, Palace Playland claimed to be "New England's largest pinball and video arcade." A guidebook writer recommended the park to "aficionados of the garish."[2]

Today

In the 2010s, Palace Playland describes itself as "New England's Only Beachfront Amusement Park." In 2010-11, the park tore down and replaced its Ferris wheel. The Playland has positioned itself as a provider of amusement-park-experience services to French-speaking residents of Quebec, including offering a webpage in French.[3] In 2016, Palace Playland opened April 14 and is scheduled to operate through October 10.[4] For the 2018 season according to the arcade manager, palace Playland is replacing all skew ball machines and will be looking into getting a new roller coaster.

Palace Playland is located directly on the waterfront, across Maine State Route 9 from the Old Orchard Beach Downeaster passenger railroad station.
